Artist Management

Unsound Productions is not a typical artist agency, and we are in no rush to create an expansive roster. Eventually, we aim to work with no more than a handful of artists we feel close affinity with. At present we represent Jlin, one of the most exciting musicians around.

Jlin

Jlin first appeared on Planet Mu’s second “Bangs & Works” compilation, which had a huge impact on electronic/club music, bringing footwork to a wider audience. Jlin doesn’t think of herself as a footwork artist, though, having morphed its sounds into something entirely new.

She hails from Gary, Indiana, a place close yet distant enough from Chicago to allow her to develop this different perspective on the genre. Her debut album “Dark Energy” – released in 2015 – is filled to the brim with dramatic tracks bursting with force, with dense rhythmic patterns and tension that overwhelm the listener. The album’s innovative sound propelled it to the top of many of the year’s Best Of lists.

Jlin’s sophomore album “Black Origami” was recently released to even greater critical acclaim and attention. Taking her unique sound further into uncharted territories, it features collaborations with Holly Herndon and William Basinski. In 2017 Jlin will also compose the music for a major new dance work by Wayne McGregor, one of the UK’s best known choreographers.

As for Jlin’s live show, it’s raw and powerful, one of the best in the electronic music world.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to book Jlin to play live, or have any other enquiry to make regarding her music.
